How to build a business from scratch

At 24 years old, I built a business and now manage £400M—here’s what I learned…

Ed Enver is an entrepreneur, director, and financial adviser who achieved this remarkable feat at a young age. Within a year, he became a Senior Partner at St. James’s Place and now oversees £400M in client assets. His journey is a true "sink or swim" story—diving in headfirst, facing the unknown, and overcoming imposter syndrome along the way.

What does it take to build a thriving business from scratch without connections?

Career hacks:

· Believe in yourself: Confidence is key. Trust your instincts, take risks, and push through self-doubt.

· Hard work trumps talent: Ed’s rapid success is a testament to his relentless dedication and drive.

· Support is crucial: Surround yourself with mentors and a network that can help you navigate challenges.

Ed’s story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t given—it’s earned through effort, resilience, and bold decision-making. No matter your background, circumstances, or age, with self-belief and action, you too can rise above the odds—just like Ed did.
